Prawn and Herb Linguine

6 February 2011

On Friday I made prawn linguine for my family. It actually turned out delicious (despite the fact that I almost burnt all the pasta for lack of a big enough pot!) and most people even had seconds! It's very healthy and suitable for dairy-free pescatarians like me! ;) The recipe is taken (slightly modified to cater for more people) from Marie Claire Real & Simple cookbook.

Ingredients:

600g Linguine pasta

King Prawns (however many you like, I used 3 small packs)

375g organic cherry tomatoes (chopped in half)

5 cloves of garlic

2 handfuls flat leaf (Italian) parsley

18 leaves fresh basil

2 tablespoons chopped chives

150ml olive oil

1 lemon

Cook the linguine in salted boiling water.

Heat the oil in a pan and add the garlic. Next add the prawns and simmer for a few minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for about one minute. Put the pasta in a big bowl and add the prawns to it. Stir in the herbs, and squeeze in the juice of one lemon. Make sure everything is mixed evenly and serve!

(Serves 6 people)

Super easy, quick and healthy! It's my perfect meal to cook :) The day after we went to my mom's house and ate Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Peperoncino (spaghetti with garlic, olive oil and chili pepper)...hahaha! If I could I would eat pasta everyday. Seriously. I love it that much!

p.s. yes I had to send something b/c as an English Writing major at university you are the first person I know to get published so it is a HUGEEEEEEEEEE deal!!! And since I cannot celebrate the publishing as I'm in Philly I had to send a little celebratory thing your way b/c it's so exciting :) Although the sentiments in the card may be a little loopy as I was still working 7-day weeks and quite sleep deprived when I wrote it but basically it's what I'm saying here!

p.p.s. I've been working so I haven't caught up on my floof vlogs (I watch every one!) but I can't believe I got recognized haha. Bizzaro.
